A cartoon war has erupted in the White House race over a satirical drawing depicting the two young daughters of Republican candidate Ted Cruz as performing monkeys, AFP reports.
The offending cartoon by the Washington Post - since removed from it website --showed Cruz as an organ grinder with two dancing monkeys, under the headline: "Ted Cruz uses his kids as political props."
"Classy. @washingtonpost makes fun of my girls. Stick with attacking me - Caroline & Catherine are out of your league," tweeted a furious Cruz, who is polling second in the Republican primary race.
The Texas senator responded Wednesday night by posting an image of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, walking two dogs dubbed "The New York Times" and "The Washington Post."
